Bushels to Liters Converter (US & Imperial)
Select the bushel standard (US or UK/imperial), enter your value, and get instant liters. You can also start from liters to find how many bushels of grain or produce that corresponds to.
Use US for most grain/agricultural measures in the U.S.
Enter bushels to convert to liters.
Enter liters to get bushels.
Factors used: 1 US bushel = 35.23907017 L; 1 Imperial bushel = 36.36872 L.
Conversion formulas
Liters = Bushels × factor
Bushels = Liters ÷ factor
factor (US) = 35.23907017
factor (UK / Imperial) = 36.36872
Choose the factor according to the origin of your data. Agricultural datasets in the U.S. typically use the US bushel.
Example
You have 12 US bushels of corn and want to know the volume in liters:
Liters = 12 × 35.23907 = 422.86884 L
If your data source uses UK/Imperial bushels, the same 12 bu would be 12 × 36.36872 = 436.42464 L.

What is a bushel?
A bushel is a unit of dry volume historically used in agriculture for grains, fruit and similar commodities. Because there are different regional definitions (US vs UK), having a converter that specifies the standard is essential.
When to use this tool
- Converting USDA crop data from bushels to liters / m³
- Importing UK agricultural reports into metric documents
- Preparing educational material that requires both US and SI units
FAQ
1. Why are the US and UK bushels different?
They come from different historical standards. The US bushel is defined as 2150.42 cubic inches; the Imperial bushel is defined as 8 Imperial gallons.
2. Can I convert directly to cubic meters?
Yes. Once you have liters, divide by 1000. For example, 352.39 L = 0.35239 m³.
3. Are bushels a measure of weight?
No, they are volume. Some commodities have “standard weight per bushel” (like wheat), but that depends on the commodity and moisture content.
